Introducing the new Astra from Vauxhall. A bold new shape and a dynamic driving experience. Innovative technology and a premium feel, inside and out. Your new Astra. Sleek. Stylish. Dynamic. This brochure covers new Astra Expression, ES, Exclusiv, SRi, SE and Elite models only. Some of the models shown include options and accessories available at extra cost. And not all of the features described are available on every model. So please check in the Equipment section for further details.
Engineered to thrill you. 6 New Astra drives as dynamically as it looks. You’re connected to the road with a new suspension set-up for seriously improved ride and agility. Add powerful, more efficient engines and the result is an altogether more exhilarating experience.
Designed to move you. New Astra has a lean sculpted shape, a five-door silhouette, yet athletic coupé-inspired lines. And a sporty confident stance accentuated by signature lighting. New Astra – redefining traditional hatchback design inside and out.
Quality to surround you. The ethos of new Astra design continues inside. Not just flexible space and comfort for five, driver-orientated ergonomics, intelligent features and unique storage solutions. But superior quality and almost obsessive detailing that flows throughout the car.
Ideas to work for you. When you’re in touch with the latest technology, life just becomes more simple, safer and stress-free. New Astra can provide a different driving feel to match your mood. And intelligent headlights that change with the conditions.
Intelligent Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL). New Astra’s intelligent AFL headlights change their pattern to suit the location and the weather. Sensing where you need the light most, they can even help you see around corners. And if something is coming the other way, they dip automatically. They can also be switched to ‘right hand traffic’ when travelling abroad. LED daytime running light. Increases your visibility to other road users without increasing fuel consumption (unlike low beam).
Safety
Investing in your safety. State-of-the-art in-car safety doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by continuous investment in award-winning technology. Innovations like front, side and curtain airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, pedal release system and active-safety front seat head restraints – all standard on every new Astra model – are aimed at helping to protect you in every type of impact situation.
Safety
The optional FlexRide (Adaptive Stability Technology) system responds instantly to data collected from chassis and drive components. Continuous Damping Control, which adjusts the damper settings in real time, four-channel Anti-lock Braking System with electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) – they all communicate with each other continuously. FlexRide simply combines all the elements for the chosen driving mode.
Three ECOTEC petrol engines – a 1.4i 16v VVT available with 87PS and 100PS power outputs, and the 115PS 1.6i 16v VVT – feature 16 valves and the latest in Variable Valve Timing (VVT) with optimised swirl characteristics. And there are two turbocharged engines – an exciting 140PS 1.4i 16v VVT and the proven 180PS 1.6i 16v VVT. On the diesel side, new Astra ECOTEC engine technology is equally impressive – and financially beneficial.
Always respecting our world. We all share a responsibility to look after our world. That’s why Vauxhall has been at the forefront of green automotive initiatives for many years. Most recently, we have been researching ways of developing new cars that are more efficient than ever before. The forthcoming Vauxhall Ampera* is an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 40 miles on battery power alone and over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.
Features Everything has its place. And the latest generation Astra has a whole new attitude to practical, ingenious interior stowage. Door pockets with room for bottles, a driver’s storage compartment, drinks holders, front and rear centre armrests with closed storage compartments – to name just a few examples – new Astra keeps everything within easy reach.

Ergonomic sports seats. New Astra’s orthopaedic ergonomic sports front seats adjust to suit your posture – perfectly. They feature superior side support and an extendable seat cushion, plus on the driver’s seat only, tilt adjustment and electric lumbar support.
Navigation made clearer. Located high in the driver’s sight line, the CD 500 seven-inch colour monitor provides superb clarity. It is recessed to avoid visual interference from direct sunlight. Infotainment New Astra audio equipment offers a choice of CD player with MP3 format/ stereo radio or a CD-based satellite navigation unit with seven-inch colour monitor.
Choices to inspire you. The new Astra five-door hatchback is available in a choice of six different trim levels – Expression, ES, Exclusiv, SRi, SE and Elite – each one a different and special interpretation of the new Astra character.
